The aim of this network is to provide researchers with information about publications and congresses regarding the mediterranean area in modern and contemporary history. We strive to be a collaborative space for researchers coming from different research fields. Instead of only promoting discussions about each single country, or only discussing the concept of mediterranean history, the aim is to facilitate circulation and confrontation of ideas, methods, and theories.
Fashioned from Holy Matter

Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz – Max-Planck-Institut
Florence, 6 – 7 July 2017
Concept and organization: Annette Hoffman and Jessica N. Richardson
***DEADLINE EXTENDED TO THE 1ST OF SEPTEMBER 2017***
The fifth NWFashionConference (NWFC) is scheduled for the autumn of 2018. The NWFC Steering Committee is looking for a partner to host this next edition.
The NWFC was established to end the stubbornly persistent euro- and ethnocentric underpinnings of dominant fashion discourse and to construct alternative narratives. The NWFC stimulates critical reflection on fashion developments and histories.
